A New Golf Table Game: Strategic "Fore-Thought"
http://www.ingenewitty.com/
It's like a box of toys for the golfer.....but with RULES!!!
It's a one-of-a-kind "board-less" golf table game that sparks the imagination, and immerses the players in social and mentally-challenging interaction.....an absolute thrill to open and play in friendly competition!!!
This Limited Edition of Strategic "Fore-Thought" brought to you by IngeNEWitty is a unique golf table game invented, designed, and crafted with care to bring you many enjoyable hours of social interaction with friends and family. It comes complete for table play or you can add your own chipping wedge and putter to take the game to a whole new exciting level.
In a completely new playing format, you are transported to a beautiful fantasy golf course in the Spring of the year that you could only dream about. It's a championship 18-hole, par 72, 7,240 yard course, realistically detailed with trials and tribulations of the finest world-class challenge courses. It's a greens-keeper's paradise, and the immaculate graphic illustrations "take you there".....the rest is up to you!!!
The name Strategic "Fore-Thought" says it all.....each hole requires assessment of risks and rewards BEFORE ‘hitting' the ball. Strategy is key in this realistic game of fun and frustration, and each golfer formulates his/her own individual approach using strategic forethought and, of course, ingenuity (get it?????). Do you go for the green? Or do you lay up? Do you shoot for a Target Zone? Or does a Hazard pose a risk? What are the odds?
IngeNEWitty is our name, and Strategic "Fore-Thought" is our game!!!
How the game is played:
Using forethought strategically, you survey potential landing areas, choose your preferred path to the green, use the "Shot-Master" to guide your club selection, tee it up (roll the die), and determine your fate. Track your location and stroke count on the "Shot-Master" along the way.
Next shot will be crucial, but the Yardage Calculator helps to gauge the situation. Go for the greenie? Or suffer the short game? Are you good at putting?
Oh, and don't forget.....you should try to hit the Target Zones. That's the way you can accumulate Bonus Cards.....they'll come in handy later!!!
The designated Pro Shop Manager records scores, awards Bonus Cards and prizes, officiates on all wagering, and handles any disputes that may arise. It's a tough job, but somebody's ‘gotta’ do it. After all, golfers have been known to ‘fudge’ occasionally!!!
Additional product information accompanied by illustrative fly-by views are available on our website. Be sure to stop by and "Take The Tour" for the fun of it!!!
So-o-o-o.....for less than average green fees for a foursome, Strategic "Fore-Thought" can be played by up to four 'golfers' or teams and ... the sun always shines at the SFT Country Club! No rain-outs here!!!
Don't miss the opportunity for this unique, one-of-a-kind game!!! It's perfect as a gift idea, tournament prize, or corporate award.....or, even better yet, TREAT YOURSELF!!!
Strategic "Fore-Thought" is a great new game full of fun and great frustration - ah, does that sound like golf anyone?
Act now!!! It's a Limited Edition available in only limited quantities.....so don't delay!!!
